FLEET outreach impact

Over the years, FLEET has conducted a variety of outreach events with schools and the general public. Most of the events were evaluated using recognized pre- and post-evaluation methods to understand the impact of the event relative to our strategic goals. The methods are outlined in the reports below. This page contains the reports for all evaluated events from 2021 ...

FLEET schools: Topological materials

Topological materials are a new 'quantum' class of materials that are being investigated for their use in the next generation of energy-efficient electronics. Why are researchers excited about topological materials? Topological insulators behave as electrical insulators in their interior, but they will conduct a current along their edges. They can conduct this current without resistance and therefore with no loss ...

FLEET Schools

FLEET Schools is a resource for primary and secondary teachers and students to engage with physics and chemistry, and to learn and think about the research problems FLEET is working on. That problem is our ever increasing energy requirements coming from our for rapidly increasing computation demand. Think Internet of Things, AI, driverless cars, smart phones and gaming. To solve ...
